The school is intended for first-time skiers and snowboarders ages 8 and older. This means skiers and snowboarders who have yet to feel the crunch of snow underfoot or the feeling of exhilaration that comes from moving while standing perfectly still.

Students will start with the simple basics, like walking on snow, and finish up on the third lesson by riding a ski lift and making linked turns on a beginner slope. At this point they fall into the category of skiers and snowboarders. Ski school
